The Ribdump Tool

ribdump [-o file] [-octal] [filename . . .]

   Prints a rib file in the format shown on page 165 of the RenderMan 
   Specification.  Ribdump provides an easy way to test binary RIB
   file utilities and is included in the Affine Toolkit to help 
   answer questions about the binary format.

   [-o file]          Output file name.  If not given, stdout is used.
   [-octal]           Print octal values only (no comments).
   [-offset n]        Print octal values starting at zero based
                      offset n.
   [filename . . .]   If no file names are given then ribdump will
                      use standard input.

   Example:

    ribdump bin.rib

      #    #    R    e    n    d    e    r   # ##Render
      M    a    n  040    R    I    B   \n   # Man RIB\n
